    Anywhere we can "see" what FIOS TV looks like?

    I am in the Tampa Bay area. Does anyone know if Verizon has a booth or store or someplace where I can go take a look at FIOS TV before I decide to switch? I remember when I lived in NY and Cablevision came out with HD for the first time they set up demo "kiosks" in the local mall to show it...

    FIOS TV in Pasco County, FL

    For those of us who are in Pasco and green with envy because Hillsborough just approved Verizon's permit, here's some info I got from the folks at Verizon:Verizon is currently in talks with the County Administrator John Gallagher, but they have not progressed to the point where they can present...
